Great point, Marghanita. I just sent a note to a colleague who is 
using ACS email (I believe is through Gmail), and suggested that not 
only is his email at risk to Google, but anyone writing to him is. My 
next note is to ACS for clarification if this is the case. I know I 
was invited to use an ACS email address and refused (last year) when 
I found out it was a gmail account. Perhaps Brenda or others on Link 
who are ACS could clarify? Sometimes we don't even know gmail is 
behind corporate emails, similar to the subcontracting by government 
departments to 3rd parties for sending out their bulk emails. Next 
time you get something from a Commonwealth department, hover on the 
link and take a look at who has your email address for tracking those 
clicked links (NLA - listen up).
